QUENTIN TARANTINO on NOBODY'S ANGEL: "My favourite fiction novel this year was written by a taxi driver who used to hand it out to his passengers. It's a terrific story and character study of a cabbie in Chicago during a time when a serial killer is robbing and murdering cabbies. Kudos to Hard Case Crime for publishing Mr. Clark's book."

But what can one driver do about a killer targeting streetwalkers or another terrorizing cabbies? Precious little-until the night he witnesses one of them in action...

Rezensionen / Stimmen
The Washington Post writes, "NOBODY'S ANGEL is a gem... it's just about perfect." Chicago Sun-Times on NOBODY'S ANGEL: "Heartbreaking... captivating... each page turn feels like real, authentic Chicago." Booklist on NOBODY'S ANGEL: "The cynical, melancholy cabbie point of view is perfect for this kind of neon-lit, noir-tinged, saxophone-scored prose poem, and Clark hits all the right notes." Publishers Weekly on NOBODY'S ANGEL: "[A] slim, sparse, and heartbreaking novel."Weitere Details

Jack Clark was nominated for the Shamus Award for his novel starring private eye Nick Acropolis, Westerfield's Chain. Nobody's Angel, the author's first novel, was originally self-published in an edition of only 500 copies that the author sold for five dollars apiece to passengers in the Chicago taxi he drove for a living.
